It won't make many headlines. Few outside the area will take notice. But tonight, above all nights, marks the most meaningful game in the history of Posting and Toasting. Maybe you haven't been paying attention to the news. Maybe you're hiding from the monstrous truth. It's hard to escape, though, the foul evil that resides within the Charlotte Bobcats organization. It once plagued our very own Knicks, feasting upon their flesh, leeching their souls, and taking them hostage for a terrible 23-59 season. The beast is capable of dismembering a man telepathically and disguising itself as a mellow, bespectacled 78 year-old with Hall of Fame credentials. Its curse even lingers within one of our own. It is so wicked, so hideous, that I request its name not be mentioned on this site.
Tonight, as the demon makes its hellish return to Madison Square Garden, the onus falls on our downtrodden heroes to defeat his slave army of Bobcats. To show the organization how they have been possessed, to help eradicate the demon from its earthly realm, and to demonstrate our freedom from its malevolent reign, we must be victorious tonight. Please join me in spectating what promises to be a grisly battle fraught with fatality. Moreso than ever, get them W's. Tipoff's at 7:30.

In preparation
I’ve just bathed in holy water and peanut butter. Holy water, to fend off the presence of Larry “Astaroth” Brown, and peanut butter because it’s awesome.
Go NYK!

i’m watching this game in a man-sized, translucent, impenetrable bubble in which i cannot be harmed by evil spirits. you can’t be too cautious.

easy on using that name. everytime that name is written or uttered, a baby seal somewhere in the atlantic ocean gets eaten alive by a shark.

What's an appropriate euphemism for L... B...?
Cannibal? Skippy McGee?
I say we need a poll.
by twincitiesknick on Nov 5, 2008 7:43 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
not sure.
i guess simply “it” will suffice for now.

for a while
we were calling him “He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named” but then it started becoming unclear whether this name should be used to refer to the coach in question or a certain ex-Rocket/Magic/Knick whom we traded for Zach Randolph.

Style-wise
the Knicks under D’Antoni seem to suffer when they see “fast, open, lots of shots” as having to be outside jump shots, but seem to thrive when they see “fast, open, lots of shots” as opening up the court to create better inside looks.

precisely.
i’d rather make risky, split-decision passes to cutters than risky, split-decision threes.

On the other hand,
If Nate is shooting 2,872,011% from the three point range, it doesn’t much matter.

GOOD LORD.
nate robinson has made it his solitary burden to rid this world of the foul coach-demon
WILSON CHANDLER AERIAL ASSAULT.
NATE AGAIN!

issue with msg's coverage:
not enough shots of disappointed and flustered man-demon, preferably sinking his head into his hands and weeping.

Project:
Someone with some computer/video skills should compile a one minute film of man-demon in agony. Video footage of him looking downtrodden, distraught, in agony, unhappy, devastated, broken. The only challenge may be if members of his species do not have “emotions” like humans do.
I’m not bitter.

we're getting a lot of good turnovers.
i just can’t tell whether it’s due to us being ok defenders or charlotte just being abhorrent.

almost an mca there.
mardy collins is soooooooooo jealous. thankfully he’s being jealous on the bench. mike d’antoni has seen the light.
by Barnesgasm on Nov 5, 2008 9:25 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
no mardy collins at all tonight!
just saw the box score! not playing mardy is like taking that heart burn medicine before you eat spicy food.

need this game
like you said above, exorcise the demons and get rid of the he-who-must-not-be-named talk.
just an observation: i see Augustin has 14 pts. there’s another guy the Knicks could’ve used with that #6 pick. i really hope Gallinari makes me eat shit in a couple of years for being so hard on him…
Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!
by Anthony Masons Haircut on Nov 5, 2008 9:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
True
But Charlotte’s taken a ton of shit for taking Augustin as high as he went. Plus, we got Gallinari as something of a project, knowing it would take time, even a year or two, for him to grow physically and adapt to the speed/style of the NBA. I don’t think it’s fair to judge this pick at all, regardless of what happens, for a year or two.
by twincitiesknick on Nov 5, 2008 9:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
it's selfish
but frankly, i’m tired of being patient with this team.
Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!
by Anthony Masons Haircut on Nov 5, 2008 9:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I hear ya
Bt unfortunately, since this franchise has been so badly trashed from the Ewing trade onward, there’s not much choice except to take the long view and hope that D’Antoni and Walsh know what they’re doing with an eye 3-4 years down the road.
Also, as bad as the Knicks have been, we’ve been to the NBA Finals in the last decade, which is more than the vast majority of teams in the major sports, let alone the NBA, can say.
This is all rationalization and consolation though. It can be damn frustrating.

man that feels like a long time ago
with all the shit that has happened from Layden to Van Horn to Isiah to Marbury to he-who-must-not-be-name to Eddy Curry, 1999 feels like a century ago.
my dad and i joke around that rooting for the Knicks is like staying in an abusive relationship. hopefully, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. at least it appears that they’re starting to go in the right direction. i just don’t know if this team will ever reclaim their 90’s glory with a piece of shit like Dolan running things.
Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!
